"illegal ownership is 20% here (this includes legal owners who have too many or non-registered weapons)"

How can you expect a stat about anything illegal to be accurate? At best a stat on something that is illegal and not tracked as something legal like legally owning a gun would be the only thing to go on would be those caught violating the law and basically just guessing from there.

Maybe they have better statisticians in Germany I just dont see how they can say that the level is 20% and you say that this includes legal owners who have too many guns how much of that 20% are they?All I can say is that I was stationed near Kaiserslaughtern Germany for almost 3 years and I did not hear of any violent crimes involving a gun in that area when I was there and several German nationals worked for my unit and the military kept us informed about local criminal activity.

Interesting that so many people kill them selves with guns though. I guess people do it that way because it seems most reliable and painless which it is I'd guess but people do survive even head shoots. MY dentist told me once when he did his required hospital time years ago that some guy came in the ER who had shoot himself in the mouth(with the barrel up towards his brain) it was a .32 cal bullet and it hit one of his molars blew it apart and bounced up and hit the roof of his mouth and broke his "roof of the mouth bone" the pallet I guess they call it.Of course if they did not have a gun on hand theyd have done the deed with something else.
